The Life and Times of Joseph Rowe

[Verse 1]
When I was born they called me Joe
The son of one who just let go
Maybe that's all you want to know about my life
To many I was just a face
A figure caught from place to place
Who hungered for that warm embrace in which to lie

[Chorus]
In the sky a cool wind blows
To the sea a river flows
Where I'm headed
No-one knows
Oh, let my spirit go

[Verse 2]
The great storm broke in '65
And though I fought hard to surivive
In fire and flood I came alive, and felt no fear
The wake I followed every sign
Crashed and danced into my mind
In truth what I had hoped to find still isn't clear

[Chorus]
In the sky a cool wind blows
To the sea a river flows
Where I'm headed
No-one knows
Oh, let my spirit go

[Bridge]
As the years went rushing past ([?])
I let some things slip from my grasp (fall to the season)
Too proud to let the moments last (lost in an age)
Or just too scared (turn a new page)
Find the pulse that beats beneath you ([?])
And you'll find the heart that feeds you ([?])

[Verse 3]
I wish I could be young again
For things were much more simple then
But everyone must make amends with what is lost
I'm ready now to face the dawn
I see now where the days have gone
But realise that time moves on at any cost

[Chorus]
In the sky a cool wind blows
To the sea a river flows
Where I'm headed
No one knows
Oh, let my spirit go
Oh, let my spirit go
Oh, let my spirit go
